After reading Halx's "My Afterlife" thread it got me thinking again...oh no...
He mentions something to the point, that we as humans already have the "good and bad" built with in us. (not an exact quote) and this leads me to my next statment.
Between religion and society we are "programmed" from birth on how to determine the difference between right and wrong.
Religion tries to "balckmail" us into beliveing ther way of thinking.
Society, shuns and "black lists" people for not following along the plan. You really get it from two seperate ends.
If I go buy porn, why do I feel I have to hide my face when I come out the front door. Why are there so many "backdoors" to these establishments. Now I feel like a 3rd rate citizen when I want to smoke a ciggrette or purchase a gun. Heaven forbid....I do all 3 in the same day.....~meltdown!
This was sort of my point in the origianl thread. I have tried to understand the "trends" of our society. It will never ring clear.
I question the reasoning of these issues. Guncontrol, Anti smoking, Anti Porn, Anti abortion, anti anti anti or
Pro Gun, Pro Choice, Pro Rain forest.
Depending on the "movement" my status of a desent American citizen gets more depleated by the hour.
I enjoy porn, I own many guns and I smoke cigs. But I also raise my children well, I pay my taxes, I support the Boy Scouts (or any other charity that shows up at my door).
I hate being "classified" by people that don't know me or don't want to know me.
Don't get me wrong here. I am not a killer or do I wish harm on any one not deserving it. I know the difference between right and wrong......but do I? I know enough not to inflict harm to others or rob the 7/11......but beyond the "obvious do's and don't's....do I know? Do I care? Do I want to know?
Ah, I'll take a break now. whew!
